Re: [Xen-users] XL Toolstack console doesn't work. XM Toolstackconsoledo

I have statically compiled everything with the exception of netxen_nic which is 
definitely loaded in.

Really stumped with this one. Tried a few things including:

replacing /sbin/mingetty with /sbin/agetty on /etc/inittab

removing ttyX from /etc/inittab

adding serial = 'pty' to domU .cfg file

dom0 kernel boot line: "console=hvc", "console=tty0", "console=tty 
console=hvc0", "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"

Have tried killing off the originally started xenconsoled and manually starting 
up with /usr/sbin/xenconsoled.
